Word origin

The term 'asphyxiated' comes from the Greek words 'a-' meaning 'without' and 'sphyxis' meaning 'pulse' or 'breathing'. It was first used in medical texts in the 17th century to describe a condition where individuals were unable to breathe due to obstruction of the airways or other factors affecting respiration. The understanding of asphyxiation expanded with advancements in medical science, allowing for better diagnoses and treatment of individuals experiencing breathing difficulties. The word has since become widely used in both medical contexts and everyday language to describe situations where oxygen supply is compromised.
